INTRODUCTION: Hemiarthroplasty for hip fracture is a common surgical procedure and is the treatment of choice for displaced intracapsular neck of femur fracture. Numerous approaches are used to access the hip joint. The standard posterior approach is used by many surgeons to preserve the abductor complex but is associated with higher dislocation rate. In this study we assess functional outcomes of piriformis sparing posterolateral approach for hemiarthroplasty of hip. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY: We retrospectively reviewed 96 patients who underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty of hip performed by chief surgeon between May 2018 to September 2020. All the database was retrieved from institutional database of tertiary care hospital. Functional outcome was measured by modied HARRIS HIP SCORE. RESULTS: Till minimum 1 year follow up we noticed that there was no single case of hip dislocation. Joint proprioception was preserved. In the nal follow up average Harris hip score was 92.2. No infection, nerve injury, implant migration occurred in our study. DISCUSSION: The main aim of the arthroplasty procedure is to decrease pain, to achieve mobility and restore anatomy. The piriformis sparing approach not only preserves abductor complex but also piriformis muscle. The muscle works like cradle, at the posterosuperior part of the joint, an area with a high risk of dislocation. The only disadvantage was noted in this approach was increased exposure difculty in obese patients CONCLUSION: From this study we conclude that Piriformis sparing posterolateral approach is safe, demands some technical aspects and should be used by surgeons using posterolateral approach.
